TURNZR. His LORDSHIP was detained some time in his pri vate room before coming into Court, in giving judg ment in this matter, and the result of which was grant ing permission to Sir Gregory to try the traverse at the next Bedford Assizes. HENDON V. COVENTRY. Mr. HART was instructed to bring to his Lord ship'sjecollection this appeal, which had been part heard a considerable time ago, and the hearing of which had been interrupted from the non-ability to produce a special order that had been made by the Court ; that order was now found, and the present application was for leave to have it put into the paper for an early day. , His LORDSHIP desired Mr. Hart to have it put in for the most convenient day. EX-PARTE GRINISTEAD, IN THE MATTER OF 'HOWARD AND GIBBS, BANKRUPTS. His LORDSHIP said he would, as he had purposed, go in part through the voluminous papers before him in this matter to-day, and finish the, judgment in it to morrow or Wednesday. The matter came before him under very singular circumstances. The,matter to be considered was contained in twobooks, which detailed all the proceedings under the second Commission, and all the evidence that had been brought forward upon the trial: The question now to be decided, and the. real question, was, whether • the sum of between ~ 30,0001. and • 40,0001., which Mr. Grimstead had proved under the firSt, and proposed to 'prove under the second commission, was a debt fit and proper, to be proved, or whether it was to be con sidered so tainted with usury as totally to preclude such proof. It appeared that under the first commis sion the proof ,of the debt had been admitted ; that under the . second, it had been refused by three gen tlemen, two of whom had admitted it under the first. The ground upon which it was rejected under the se cond commission was, that regard being had to all the circumstances, it was so affected with usury, as to ren der it impossible to be proved. Under these circum stances, a petition was presented to the Great Seal, which came on to be heard before the Vice-Chancel lor, and his Honour directed-an issue, or an action, his Lordship did not recollect which. Mr. Hoitrai believed it was an action. His LORDSHIP directed the action ..to try whether Mr. Grimstead in fact was, or was not a Creditor under the Commission ? Or in other words, whether the Bankrupts, 'at the time of the bankruptcy, was indebted to him ? This question bad been tried in the Common Pleas,' and a verdict had been pro nounced against Mr. Grimstead. His LORDSHIP then went at considerable length through. the books he had referred to, stating hilly a great number of items and transactions, which are not very material to mention at present, and concluded for the day by' stating, that lie would finally deliver himself of the matt e r on coming into Court on ursday. , WILLIAMS V. GooDCHILD. The Court then went upon the evidence' n this Lunt -heard appeal. COURT OF KING'S BENCH..(Tms DAY.) HANAR v. KITCHIN. This was an action to recover from the proprietor of a booking-office the value of a parcel of muslin, which had been booked at his office, with directions to have it sent by coach to a tradesman in Hackney, but was lost in the conveyance. It was tried at Guildhall on Friday last, and the plaintiff was non-suited, it appear ing that he was the vendor of the parcel, the - legal right of action being in the consignee, as decidrd in the case of Dawes v. Beck, in Term Reports. It was also contended on behalf of the 4efendaut, that having sent the parcel by a carrier, the latter, anti not the de fendant, was liable to an action ; but the Lord Chief Justice, said that as he had got directions to send it by a coach, and thought proper to send it by a carrier, he was liable. Mr. DENMAN moved for a rule (this day) to show cause why the non-suit should not be set aside, and a verdict entered for the plaintiff, on the grounds that in Dawes v. Beck the action was against the carrier, and therefore ought not to govern this case.—Rule granted. On Saturday night a young woman in the service of A tradesman in St. Martin's-lane, was given in charge by her muster and conveyed to St. Martin's watch-house. After being detained there till some other cased were investigated, the constable of the night asked for the pereon who had given her in charge, but lie not being forthcoming the watchman was sent for him. Upon his arrival he was asked what he hail to say against the girl, When be stated that she had been sent on an errand at a quarter past eleven o'clock, and had'not returned far three quartet's of an hour, and that when she did return she had brought another womawwith her, and had made such a disturbance at his door that he found it necessary to give her in charge. A gentleman who kad been standing at the door of a Coffee House . opposite, stated that he saw the girl come up to the door and knock gently for o.dmittance to no purpose, that she then went away and brought another Woman with her, who also knocked gently ; after 14111 C thole the door was opened, and th e mietrten of the house put ant her hew!, and saying that the girl was no servant of her 's, abut the door in theirfaces ; another gentleman who was paseing reeoq , mended her to knockagain, and once more to request admittance, as she had stated that she had no place to go to fee the n ight ht. lo Upon her doing so her master cam e out, an d immediately aer charge to the watchman. Under these circutnstances the constable of the ni g ht very properly refused to take jar in charge, telling the master that if she had not suited him, lie might have discharged her in the morning, without the to t} of ref fusi h ng her admsucit h tance at me e t an boor, or sending h e r to e watch-ouse on a charge, on this the girl wan liberated, and went home with the female friend who had attended her to the watch-house.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE HATTON-GARDE NT-(Tuts Day.) Two fellows in the shape of men, named Hooper and Cole, the former describing himself as a married man and a master carpenter, and the latter as a clerk, residing in Bridgewater 7 square, Barbican, were brought up, charged with committing a most unmanly assault on Mrs. Eliza Price, th e wife of Mr. James Price, a respectable tradesman, residing at No. 50, Little Sutton -street, Clerkenwell. The defendants were 'also charged with an assault upon Mr. Price, the hus band of Eliza. It appeared from the statement of Mrs. Price, who is a young and interesting female, that about half-past nine o'clock, last night, she was returning home with her husband; when near her door she thought she would take in some beer for supper, to save her the trouble ofemn ing out again. She accordingly went to the public house, and left her husband waiting outside, at a short dis tance. When she came out of the public house, with a pint of beer in her hand, the two defendants came up to her, and addressing her very vulgarly, Cole put one arm round her waist, and with his hand behaved very rudely to her. (Here by the desire of the Magistrate, she described particularly the assault.) She screamed out, and her husband came to her assistance, when he was most violently attacked by both the defendants, and struck several severe blows in the face ; at length the watchman came up, and they were given into his custody, and carried to the watchhouse. • Mr. Price, the husband, was called, and he corro borated his wife's statement in every particular, adding, that when he saw her so ruffianly handled he of course went to her aid and seited Cole by the collar, at the same time asking him how he dared to insult his Wife? Whereupon he gave him a Very heavy blOw with his fist in the face, and Hooper also struck him in the chest. Mr. Price declared that in all his life he never saw such a diabolical outrage as was committed on his wife. • The defendant Cole said, that the case had been most shamefully exaggerated as to the assault on Mrs. Price ; he admitted striking her husband, but not till he had been struck by him. Hooper said that lie certainly did strike Mr. Price, but it was done in his own defence. . The Magistrate ordered Cola' to find bail upon the two assaults, and Hooper to find bail for assaulting Mr. Price. Both were locked up in default of the required sureties. MARLBOROUGH-STREET—(Tuts Dim) Johnny Murphy, a boy of 14 years of age, was placed at the bar. An Irish woman of 3 it* high, with an elegant exuberance, both in back and front, between her shoulders, commenced with plate yer honor's tottraltip this is a very ugly affair : that boy, yer wurahip, Johnny Murphy, yer worship, has robbed me of a bovereign—that is all but two shillings, yer worship. Magistrate—How much do you say. Witness—." A sovereign, yer worship, after I had got but two shillings out, of it." Magistrate—Then you mean 18 shillings. Witness—No, yer worship, it was 9 shillings two times. Magistrate—Well, how much was that ? Witness—Faith, yer worship, I can't tell, but I'll pay yer wor ship just to reckon it for me. Magistate—Well, go on. yer Worship, as I. was saying, this boy Johnny Murphy, and another boy Johnny Carey, shame to 'em, robb'd me of a sovereign all but two shillings, which was in a little tin' box, yer Worship . ; and then this boy Johnny Murphy ran away with part of the money, and the other buy, Johnny Carey ran away raid himself, and we couldn't catch hint no where, yer Worship. Johnny Murphy, however, in his defence, said, that all he had of the money was half-a-erown, given hits by Johnny Carey, who, after he had spent ls. lid. told him where he had gut it. A warrant was then granted fur Johnny Carey, and Johnny Murphy's father promising to produce hint when requisite, he was discharged. REPRESENTATION OF ;WESTMINSTER: • MIL CANNING. We understand the following Address is circulated among the fiitmds of Mr. Canning TO Tat LOYAL AND ENLIGHTINYO LLYCTONS Ov THY CITY OF wicsTaiiNsTickt. Buoying Et.rmas—The approaching Election will afford us an opportunity, nut only of mowing our real independence by the free exercise of our elective franchisement*, but of securing to ourselves the advantages of being represented by congenial minds possessing talent and influence worthy our high local situa tion. It will also enable us successfully to make head against and crush the expiring power of an obnoxious Junta, who, under the mask of popular pretensiou, have for years past usurped a prejudicial and degrading authority over the application of our elective rights. It will not be considered necessary in this stage of the business to enter into a general review of the qualifications, conduct, and pretensions, of the present members; virtually, the respectable and wealthy portion of the City of Weetminster, have fur years past disclaimed all connexion "therewith, and consetpiently having no one to represent their interest and sentiment*, have been com pletely disfrauchised. Even with those represented it,ir universally admitted, that on the one hind, they have to complain of almost totorneylect, and great insincerity in respect to important measures; on the other, of that want of political consequence which can only he obtained by the possession of great talents, the which we, the Electors of the ancient and respectable City of Westmiuider, have a right to expect as the characteristics of our Representatives. To shake off this degrading thraldoin, and at once redeem our loyal character and our right, by the free exercise of our elective franc.hisemente, is worthy the most spirited exertions, particu larly when we reflect, that, in so doing, 'we shall cast off an odious political disgrace, destroy t'he influence of faction ht the city, set an example worthy of imitation in other place% and give your votes the most convincing proofs of our sincere desire to sup port the liberal and enlightened views of the present Administra tion, With this view it is suggested, that a requisition, signed by a preponderating number of the most reopectable and wealthy epee- tors, shoold be immediately preptred and presented to that en lightened Statesman and distinguithed patriot the Right Hon. George Ossining, inviting him to accede to his being put in no mination at the approaching election, to represent the City of Westminster in Parliament; at the same time assuring him, that such election shall he conducted without his personal intoference, and wholly free from any time most expenec on his part, —thus returning lion as our representative to the House of com mons by the free voice of the people, from admiration of great talents, and in confirmation of their epproval of the liberal and enlightened policy which, has marked the measures of Govern ment since his accession to his present office.

The Duke of York also arrived on Saturday evening at Froginore Lodge, where his Royal Highness will remain during Ascot Races. His Majesty took an airing yesterday afternoon, in his little phaeton, down the Great Park, through the inclosures by Frogmore, into Windsor Little Park. The King then drove to the Castle, throu&h the new grand entrance, where his Majesty was received by the Duke of York, who had arrived from ,Frogmore. Mr. Wyattville, the architect, was in waiting, and attended his ftfajes7 during hie inspection of the Castle. Soon after five o clock, the King, attended by his suite, re• turned to the Royal Lodge. The Duke of York, accompanied by Mr. Greville, attended divine service yesterday morning, at St. George's Chapel. Divine service was performed by the Canon in residence. The Royal Duke sat in the Royal Family Pew. • This morning was ushered in with the ringing of bells and firing of cannon, in honour of the birth-day of the Duke of Cumberland, wheit his Royal High ness completed his fifty-fifth year. The young gentlemen of Eton College have their annual grand gala on the water this evening,- from Windsor Bridge to Staley Hall, where an elegant sup per will be given them on the lawn, after which they will return in their boats, in.procession, to Windsor. A'grand display of fireworks on the Thames will con clude the evening's entertainment.

William Huskisson leaves town on Friday next, for Liverpool; at which place the election is expected to commence on Monday. The late Lady Charlotte Lemon, wife of Sir Charles Lemon, Bart., was sister of the Earl of Ilchester. The accumulated afflictions of this most amiable lady in the loss of a daughter on the Continent, and more recently of a son at Harrow, while bathing, no doubt tended to produce this melancholy event. The Poem on Greece, written by Mr. Secretary Canning while at Eton School, has been translated into German, and is sold for the benefit of the Greeks. Mr. Elliston, retires from the management of Drury Lane, and we understand that a long list of compete tors are likely to enter the field to rent it for a term 01 seven or fourteen years.

Never in the same space of time has the population of the West end of town been so much lessened as since Friday last. The departure of Candidates, agents, &c. for all parts of the United Kingdom, on Saturday and yesterday, was incessant. The trans port of electors has not, of course, yet begun, but already all the horses anti vehicles throughout the country are said to he engaged for that purpose. - - ORIGIN OF THROWING THE STOCKING.—There is au old rhyme still extant, which gives us the origin of this curious custom, even still very prevalent in many places at weddings : _ When Britons bold Bedded of old, Sandals were backWartl thrown; The pair to tell, That ill or well, 'll,. art was all their own. The Whitehaven Paper. gives a few further partieu. lars respecting the elopement of filitts L—y-11, of the Isle of Man. with Lieutenant and Adjutant Etlwerds,.of the fif th Foot; The lady's papa, it seems, was very hostile, to the union, and had spared no pains to prevent the elopement, yet, notwithstanding his vigilance, the son of Mars out.manaiuvred hint, and having obtained the attire of a Manx peasant, he coinpletely meta morphosed his intended bride, at a cottage near the shore, end succeeded in getting her safe on board an open boat, in which, after encountering a stormy easterly breeze, they bottled at Fleswick, near Whitehaven, very_ much fatigued with the pas sage.

The room and yard exhibited the usual throng, the sale of horses being very heavy ; the attendance of the nobility and other supportere of the turf was strong, but on the whole the boldness Was rather flat. Before entering upon the business of the day, it may not be amiss to notice, that an account was stuck up, stating that neither Monarch for the 200 soya.

We hope it may be per severed in. The affair of The General was slightly touched ou, and it seemed to be the current' opinion, that the decision of the Jockey Club Committee entirely exonerated all those who bad been sup posed to he implicated, as the accusing party had failed to sub stantiate the reports so industriously circulated. The General has again changed hie master, buying been pft, chased by a sporting gentleman, who it was said, was dsEertnyued to start hint, to-morrow, at Ascot, in the 200 Nova.

The Committee of the Jockey Club brought their inquiry into the circumstances connected with. The General to a elmultaliou on Saturday, and we understand came to a resolution that Ma. Far quharson bad failed in making out the case he had untied. They also had conveyed to him their opinion that be ought to apologize to Mr. Thornhill fur the observations he had made,. and the lan guage he had used. Mr. Farquharson positively, refused to re tract any thing which he had uttered on the subject, being conscien tiously convinced, he said, that the impressions be entertained were fully justified.. lie added, that in bringing forward the charge, he had been influenced solely by a sense of justice to the public, and by a persuasion that the fact of The General being prevented from starting, was a circumstance so involved in tnyw tery, that it demanded the most rigid inquiry.
